0 to 60 miles per hour in as little as 2.6 seconds.
Musk also made sure to highlight the truck's durability during the event. When the Cybertruck was first announced in 2019, a failed demo meant to show off the truck's exterior went wrong when a metal ball thrown at the vehicle shattered a window on stage.
This time, when what appeared to be a baseball was tossed at the car, the window held firm.
"You don't have to worry about, like, rocks hitting the glass and cracking the glass," Musk said.
How much will the Cybertruck cost?
Updated pricing posted online shows that Tesla's new model will start at $49,890.
The rear-wheel drive Cybertruck starts at $49,890 and will be available in 2025. The vehicle will have an estimated 250-mile range and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, according to Tesla.
The all-wheel drive model starts at $68,890 with deliveries in 2024. This model has an estimated 340-mile range and can go from 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 112 miles per hour.
The "Cyberbeast" version starts at $96,390 with deliveries starting next year. The model has an estimated 320 mile range and can go from 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds, according to Tesla, with top speeds of 130 miles per hour.
Tesla's website says these prices assume that the buyer will receive IRA Federal Tax Credits up to $7,500 for Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive and $3,600 of gas savings over three years.
While Tesla originally said the Cybertruck's starting price point would come in below $40,000, its price hike was anticipated by experts.
“($400,000) is not a realistic price point in 2023,” said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds’ head of insights, in a Wednesday statement. “The reality is that no full-size truck, electric or gas, transacts anywhere near the $40K mark on average.”
Data from Edmunds shows that the average MSRP for the full-size truck segment is $65,158 and $76,281 for heavy-duty trucks.
